Some glowing tribute to their presence, too

To hide the lack of romance in the scene)

And soon to solitude lone Garfield leaves
Taking its flight impatienlly again
Along the shore-across the lonely plain,
Where now the shadows creep, a stealthy
throng-
The first to issue from nights fortress strongl
Since the fierce siege was over that had Wont
At last the days proud colors from the sun.
Lo, now the clouds their IosY banners rear
Above the hills where late they crouched in
fear
Ger the proud peaks their rallied number

From whose close ranks start messengers to
greet
The scattered hosts with word of some new
hope
In their own cause successfully to cope
With whate'er foe the twilight conquering
hour
Has left to oppose their oft-exerted power
Noting the scene and charmed by its repose
Borne by the train. the traveller onward
Past all those spots that marked the earlier
day
Now from the view fast dying, with the day
On till at last the city's lights appear,
A signal that the journey s end is near
And gladly, too, the traveller greets the
sight
